About us
We met studying Interior Architecture at The Scott Sutherland School of Architecture and the Built Environment, Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen, way back in 2001.
We understand our role and responsibility in the climate crisis, and are striving to reduce our impact and create a better world for future generations.
We enjoy working together, and working with our really nice clients. We have a shared passion for the sun (we worship it like lizards whenever it makes an appearance here in our temperamental Scottish climate), and this is as important when considering layouts for clients’ houses and how to orientate spaces.
